That depends on several things. How hot are the chillies. They come in varying degrees of hotness. It would be a case of less is best, then taste and add more if you think needed. Also, a lot of recipes have spices in them that already create spiciness, so would need to be careful.

couldnt buy any dried chillies anywhere here, so saw a jar of Pam's chilli and am going to put a tblspn in the sauce. hope it works. will let you know, all it says on jar is chillies, water and spices... worth a try anyway.

the sauce is really yummy. just used my fav tomato sauce recipe, added some garlic, 1 small red chilli, and then 3 teaspn of pams crushed chilli and bought back to boil. it is so yummy, a little hot, but not a lingering hot... . . if you know what i mean.
